"My collection is rubber stamps. Those are stamps that
you make cards with. They are fun and you don't have to be
an artist so anyone can do it! Believe it or not the card
looks better if you don't try to make it perfect. My favorite
line of stamps is D.T.'s You can save a lot of money using
stamps instead of buying cards."

"When I was about 7 years old I wanted a collection of stamps,
so I started one by taking them off my Mom's mail. After a while, I
told my Mom and she started helping me by putting her money together with mine.
Now I have over a 100!"

"My name is Jennifer. I collect any kind of clowns! TheyÕre really cool. I got some from North Carolina, Virginia & from other places."
My uncle collects Dallas Cowboy stuff. He has the biggest collection I've ever seen. His walls are wallpapered with all different articles from all different newspapers and magazines. We are in the process of setting up a home and/or web page for him. He also has a china cabinet full of footballs pillows, koosies, mugs and even Wheaties boxes!! All and all he has at least 500 newspaper articles and posters celebrating every single super bowl they ever won. Key chains, ice boxes, crock pots, tea tanks, even a 6' cardboard cut out of Emmitt Smith!!"I started my collection when I was 8. I had a friend named Elizabeth, and she had a horse
collection. She was older then me, and I was really in to the, "I wanna be big, and if I
do what they do I'll be a big girl. "stuff". So I started my collection of stamps.
I have at least a 100 now, and it feels so great to have something that you have a lot of,
and you can take out and remember the past."

"I collect business cards. I like to go to Art Fairs with my Mom and get cards from booths. I go to California a lot so I get cards from all over the country. Whenever I am on a trip I try to get a business card so I can remember the place. I love collecting and will never stop!!!!"
"My name is Jill and I'm 12 years old and I have over 800 postcards in my postcard collection. I have gotten them from all over from as close as my hometown Brandon, Florida to the small kingdom of Swaziland in Africa after I wrote to them begging for a postcard. May of my postcards I get from visiting the places (Japan, England, Switzerland, Australia just to name a few) and the other I get from my friends and family who visit there or from writing to goverment officals in the area. I've been working on this collection for about 8 years ever since the first time I went out of the country."
